This group’s purpose is to organize regular acoustic jam sessions in a supportive and friendly environment. This is not an open mic. As I see it, the purpose of an open mic is for an individual to prepare a 15-20 min performance and present it to an audience. In contrast, the purpose of this group is to offer the individual, novice to advanced, an opportunity to play with others in a relaxed group environment. Come and listen, play or sing. There are beginners who have only been playing a few mo …

History: It all started when my friend Kate "had an idea." She reserved tables at a restaurant in Leesburg and invited other single friends for a get-together. Brenda and Chip were among those initially invited and in attendance, which lead to further discussion and the offer to assist with the logistics. That's when "Single Professionals of Loudoun" was "born" (11/13/2007). Currently it has >400 members & is private. Future: At the request of several Charter Members, I decided to start this Mee …
